The general topic was art and soullessness and stealing; Kubrick was used as an example of a guy that was making original works of art despite often adapting novels. So A Clockwork Orange and 2001 and The Shining were mentioned because they're adaptations of novels.

@baestfugeebot @captain_arepa @naneko Checked the DB, you weren't in it. FSE's DB says that you are not a bot and your account first federated here 2023-02-02 so you *should* have been on the list. I don't know why that occurred, but I added you so try tagging the bot again. I also don't know why I didn't get messages from you before, unless you had replied in a thread I had muted.

@naneko @captain_arepa @baestfugeebot I didn't get a message from you. It was busted the first half a day or so but should be working now. If you try tagging it again, it should reply to you.

> In the modern era, it suffers from the over reliance on narration-

Pff. Narration is considered gauche because hacks use it; this doesn't mean that every use of it is bad writing. It worked in that movie.

> Aside from the UK ban of the movie entirely-

Of course, they had to: the movie was about "the European Union is Hitler II". :alex:

> The shining book isn't bad...

The best you can hope from Stephen King is "well, it didn't physically *hurt*".

> Room 237 is worth a watch for shining movie fans.

Haven't heard of it; will put it in the queue.

@TheMadPirate @jesu @kasdeya @kitsunecafe @lispi314 Reality is weird; fiction is a person conveying ideas. Not in the preachy sense, not a moral proscription, but A Clockwork Orange is a guy working out some ideas about the nature of free will (and the part that Kubrick left on the floor, destruction as a petty/juvenile activity that people grow out of, even if they live in a shitty society), Catch-22 is about the absurdity of war, and The Crying of Lot 49 is Pynchon trying to make you watch him jack off. (I hear Gravity's Rainbow is better but I liked only one page of Lot 49 and I don't wanna comb through to find it but it's the conversation in the bar.)

I had a conversation with @jesu and he mentioned that Kubrick's movies were generally better than the books he used and I immediately thought of "The Shining" and said that anyone that can turn a Stephen King novel into something good is clearly a genius, but I will say that A Clockwork Orange is an exception. There's no way to really do a 1:1 translation of 250 pages of words into 2 hours of people running around talking so it's not really that Kubrick failed at anything (it was still a really good movie) but it's really hard to touch Burgess.

@jesu @kasdeya @kitsunecafe @lispi314 Well, I haven't seen a lot of Jarmusch but I think he should steal from somewhere better if that's his strategy because I didn't like much of what I did see. Tarantino has made a career of "homage" and his films are insufferable; everything but Reservoir Dogs is nearly impossible to watch without wanting to personally assault him.

I can't see OP either, because tech.lgbt hates FSE apparently, or they have signed fetches on and I'm not doing that for now.

I don't know about games dying but I read whatsisface's bit about the indiepocalypse and he was dead-on: there are too many indie games for anyone to even get a feel for what's going on, and most of them will not ever take off unless they get some glowing press. There's a lot of spam and not a lot of art. I think most of it's untenable; I don't expect the big studios to stay around in their current forms. Some of them can, but Walt Disney dies and then Disney becomes a corpse-humping cult, and I think the industry isn't set up to produce more Shigeru Miyamotos or Hideo Kojimas, there's not going to be another Itoi. It's not produced another Gunpei Yokoi. There weren't a bunch of VPs of Whatever breathing down the game devs' necks, there wasn't a committee. Once it has money, a company trends conservative: they want to hold onto their market share instead of starting from scratch and this bleeds down to every level, so individual initiative goes from "invaluable" to "unsafe".

@disarray Does he not realize that it's polite for a bot to explain itself in its UA?

> someone captured this one very well or there is a secret WAV release code in each LP.

It always seemed stupid to me to do vinyl release only for something that was created digitally. Like, the point of vinyl is that an analog recording of analog sounds is lossless, but you're not missing anything if the sound was created inside the computer to begin with.

The most accurate prediction possible about the election. This might be the biggest shit show since we started having elections.

@judgedread Wrong culprit. It's Disney humping the frozen corpse, and they hate any independent studios. #MeToo was a shot at Harvey Weinstein and it effectively destroyed his studios.

@mangeurdenuage @dcc @djsumdog @pernia So the question "Why do people hate California?" is apparently related to "Because people on the internet lie about California."

> but sexual intercourse under 14yo is not ok imo.

As noted, it doesn't apply under 14, and it doesn't make it legal, it just removes one mandatory part: you still do time, just if they are over 14 and you are less than 10 years, you don't have to be on the sex offender registry for the rest of your life.
